Marine Layer opened a pop-up shop in the Marina district of San Francisco, and they’d found a piece of unfinished wood to use for the sign. I spent an afternoon down at the shop hand-painting the logo and text onto the sign. One interesting thing I learned about painting on natural wood: sandpaper on wood works like a rubber eraser on paper. Go figure.

Another Marine Layer design, this one is based on an RC Cola graphic. Printed on silver t-shirts with red contrast stitching in the yoke.

This design was based on a classic 1980′s OP polo. I took the basic color scheme and style of stripes, and created a graphic based on a photograph of tennis legend Bjorn Borg. The design was printed onto fabric before the shirt was assembled, so the stripe is continuous across the chest.

The shirt is available for sale at marinelayer.com.

Created this design for Marine Layer, based on the classic photo of Willie Mays’ iconic basket catch.

Marine Layer is a San Francisco-based t-shirt and apparel company. I’ve been doing design for them occasionally for the past year. This was one of the first project I worked on for them. The logo was already created before I got involved, and the sunset design was their most popular print, so it was a natural fit for the wall at their office / hang-out spot.
